The Racism in Science.
A skull from the collection of Samuel Morton, the father of Scientific racism, illustrate his classification of people into five races-which arose, he claimed, from separate acts of creation.
This image was taken at as part of coverage for the new issue of @NatGeo magazine's cover story on race.
Morton claimed in his Crania Americana that the Caucasians had the biggest brains, Indians were in the middle and Negroes had the smallest brains. Morton believed that the skulls of each race were so different that a wise creator from the beginning had created each race and positioned them in separate homelands to dwell in.
An Anglo American skull (see above) would have been filled with lead shot, the type used in shotgun shells, his skull measurements (by volume) then came to serve as "evidence" for racial stereotypes.
Morton believed that cranial capacity determined intellectual ability, and he used his craniometric evidence in conjunction with his analysis of anthropological literature then available to argue in favor of a racial hierarchy which put Caucasians on the top rung and Africans on the bottom. His skull measurements (by volume) then came to serve as "evidence" for racial stereotypes.
He described the Caucasian as "distinguished by the facility with which it attains the highest intellectual endowments"; Native Americans were described as "averse to cultivation, and slow in acquiring knowledge; restless, revengeful, and fond of war, and wholly destitute of maritime adventure" and the Africans he described as "joyous, flexible, and indolent; while the many nations which compose this race present a singular diversity of intellectual character, of which the far extreme is the lowest grade of humanity".
The publication of #CharlesDarwin's On The Origin of Species in 1859 changed the nature of the scholarly debate. This is another example of the influence of the work by #Darwin and #AlfredRusselWallace

It takes more than 2 months for me to finish this! (Busy adulting btw, not because of the book is pretty thick lol)
An interesting view of Indonesia (and sorrounding area) in the late 1800s from the perspective of a naturalist from England as he travelled around the archipelago.
Written in a travelogue narrative makes this book easy to follow, but still, the reference to latin names of an animal got me lost!
Glorifying white race and colonialism at times, but this book pretty much gives an insight on the natural and sociological condition of the natives at that time ~

2 on 1 stand up paddle board 👍🏻 working just fine! Amazing tour! 🦋🐠🌴🍃🌊 Paddled from our Homestay #batulimahomestay to the lagoon east of Yenbeser village. Went to the far end and found our way to the presumed site where Alfred Russel Wallace spent a few months in 1860. In the forests there is a replica of his house. #rajaampat#yenbeser#alfredrusselwallace

When we walk this #rescue#pup in Missouri where we live, we get asked all the time what “kind” of dog she is. Everyone is a #biologist when it comes to dogs. We say (only half-jokingly) that she is a Desi dog, which translates to being from the Indian subcontinent. .
The first time I saw her I was horribly pregnant and trying to maneuver my 96-year old grandmother into a car. The puppy approached us and promptly got entwined in the voluminous skirts of my ammamma’s sari. After some truly Wodehousian moments spent extricating the animal, I did what all animal lovers do - I fed her. Then I went inside and googled how to adopt a dog from India and bring her to the US. It wasn’t as difficult as I expected and we can thank the dog-show industry for paving the way. .
Then I contacted my husband and broke the news. After he met her the next week, saved her from sepsis of a bad bite, and had christened her after Alfred Russell Wallace, he was under the impression that importing an Indian pariah dog (Canis lupus familiaris) was all his idea to start with. .
And so Wally, a street mutt from Bangalore, India, now romps in the snow in eastern Missouri. The #ancestor to the #dingo. A #landrace of her own, transplanted to a new clime but adapting to it quickly. She is still quite a bit Un-domesticated, which is how I like it. That dogs will be dogs and not unbarking, unjumping, automatons. .
